Why does increasing soil salinity have adverse effects on plant cells?

2 answers:

Due to osmosis, the side of the membrane containing more water than the other will release some of its water to the opposite side, until equilibrium is reached. So, if the plant has more water than the soil does, than the plant will lose water (here the cells may shrivel and wilt). If your plant has a higher salinity than the soil around it perhaps it will end up absorbing more water than it is supposed to (here the cells may swell or even burst)

Ezywhen salinity in soil increases the soil becomes hypertonic when compared to cell sap.the movement of particles from a lower concentrated solution to a higher concentrated solution is callede osmosis. in general conditions cell sap is at higher conc. than surrounding media. this allows water and minerals to enter the plant. but when soil is at higher conc. i.e., when its salinity increases the process becomes reversed can you imagine its consequenses?

Answer:

Kidneys : helps in forming urine

Ureter : They are connected to kidney and by peristaltic action transports urine from kidneys to bladder .

Urinary bladder : It is an hollow sac that holds the urine .

Urethra : transports urine from the bladder to outside of the body .

Explanation:

The human excretory system consists of : Kidney ,ureter ,urinary bladder and urethra .The figure is shown below .

Now , as far as functions are concerned we have :

Kidneys : They have excretory units called nephrons that further consist of :

Bowman's capsule
PCT (Proximal convoluted tubule )
DCT (Distal convoluted tubule)
CT (collecting tubule )

In nephrons urine is formed and via ureter it is transported to a hollow sac like structure called urinary bladder .

This bladder has muscles that cant remain contracted up to longer period )and then voluntary and involuntary it is excreted through urethra .

The process of passing urine is called Micturition .

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

The case in this the biological exterminators asks to use the biological concept which includes spraying the solution of the juvenile hormone to get rid of nymphs of specific insect and according to the assumption, this solution causes some alteration on the ability to reproduce of such nymphs and leads to only nonreproductive ones.

On the given condition the increasing of nymphs, the number of adult nymphs or decreasing of nymphs can not be condition and as the reproductive ability is affected the number of nymphs would be the same.

Thus, the correct answer would be - option C.
